Rane, one of the blah to TADA!'s lovely readers
challenged me to transform blah dryer lint into a TADA!
I hope I haven't disappointed her so far.
As I've mentioned in the previous posts,
dryer lint is highly flammable,
so it's important to take care when re-using it.
But today, we'll take advantage of its flaming super power by
crafting a fire starter kit.
Fill a box or tin with dryer lint.
Add a set of matches or a lighter,
and TADA! -- simple materials to
get a fire going for your next camping trip.
Put the box of lint & matches in a
resealable plastic bag to prevent
it from getting wet.
Happy camping!
Oh my! Your starter kit is much prettier than my baggie of lint! Thanks to your blog I look at everything in a new way!
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks Saskatoon Laura! This kit is made from an old box and the floral paper is actually a page from an old catalog. Must add a little "style" to hardcore camping, heehee :)
ReplyDeleteAll of your lint creations are fantastic! I wonder if you've heard of Green Craft magazine by Stampington and Co? They are always calling for creations. I am 100% certain they would publish some of the things that you have done if you submit them! Here's the link, I highly encourage you! http://www.stampington.com/html/greencraft.html
ReplyDeleteThanks for your encouragement Vanessa! I've seen Green Craft at the bookstore and made a mental note to possibly send them a query...I need a little bit of courage. It'll be on my TO DO list :)
ReplyDeleteWhat about dryer sheets to hold the lint? Are they safe?
ReplyDeleteomg absolutely ridiculously awesome! im totally trying some of these dryer lint ideas. when i was little, i cut out two identical construction paper bears, put lint between them, and stapled them shut. it was my version of a teddy bear. lol this knocks the socks off my creation! :]
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Angie May! I give you props on making your own teddy bear! Creativity at such an early age :)
ReplyDeletet ´s a very funny idea!
ReplyDeletehave a nice weekend !

ReplyDeleteJust curious if you've ever Blah to Tadad with dryer sheets?? I've been saving them for quite awhile now because I just know they have potential. any ideas??
ReplyDeleteHello Jessica! Thanks for coming over today. I have a few ideas for dryer sheets (you aren't the only one who asked) which will be the subject of a future post. Stay tuned!
